Update at 8:42 a.m. November 27 by staff writer Robert Wilonsky: Police have identified the man shot and killed last night: 58-year-old Patrick Coleman, whose next of kin has been notified, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office. And the woman accused of shooting killing Coleman is now in Dallas County jail: Kendall Polasek, 50, who has been charged with murder and whose bond has been set at $500,000.

According to the police report, at 4:32 p.m. Monday a Dallas police officer arrived at the Gaston Avenue apartment to find Coleman lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the chest. One witness was standing over Coleman, applying pressure to the wound. That witness, and two others, told police Coleman and Polasek got into an argument, which at least one person tried to break up -- unsuccessfully, clearly. They told police that Polasek "retreated to her bedroom and returned with a handgun."

According to one witness, she said to Coleman, "I told you I was gonna kill you." According to witnesses, she raised the gun and fired twice. The report says the gun misfired the first time; the second time, Coleman took a slug in the chest, at which point, says the report, he "fell over in the door way of the apartment and into the arms" of another witness.

After that, they told police, Polasek stepped over Coleman, ran out of the apartment and fled the scene in a gold Toyota. Not long after that, officers stopped her near the 5700 block of Live Oak, not far from the Lakewood Landing, and took Polasek into custody. Around the time she was being taken to jail, Coleman was declared dead at Baylor.

Original item at 8:59 p.m. November 26: A woman allegedly shot and killed a man with whom she lived in an Old East Dallas apartment complex just after 4 p.m. today, according to police.

Robert Wilonsky is at the scene and passed along the following details.

The shooting occurred at the Villa de Oro apartments at 4815 Gaston Ave. near Fitzhugh Ave. Police caught up with the suspected shooter shortly after the crime as she was driving a mile away at Skillman St. and Live Oak St.

A homicide detective at the scene said an altercation lead to the shooting. It's not clear whether the suspect acted in self defense.

The suspected shooter is currently in custody, and police are at the scene investigating. The victim was transported to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not been released pending notification of next of kin.

The apartment complex manager, Nancy Martin, heard two shots between 4 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. "I even ducked," she said.

Martin said there's "never been a problem" with the people involved in the shooting. She said the man and woman have lived there since May. It's not clear whether the victim and the suspected shooter were married, but Martin said they lived with another man, who she believes is the suspect's ex-husband.
